The Grindhouse Gang
Lance Silver
The Projectionist
Lance has been running the booth at Imagitale’s Grindhouse Theater longer than most of the audience has been alive. Nobody hired him. He was just there one day, threading 35mm through a Simplex XL like he’d been doing it since birth, and nobody asked him to leave.
He handles sci-fi, giallo, crime, and anything that requires someone who actually knows what anamorphic lens distortion looks like. He does not handle slashers. He considers them beneath analysis.
He smells like machine oil and Folgers.
Misty Stubbs
The Ticket Booth
Misty is not a horror host doing a bit. She is not performing enthusiasm. She is a person who watches a man get bisected by a chainsaw and her first thought is about the practical effects work. She finds monsters and carnage thrilling the way other people find live music thrilling.
She gets horror, slashers, and anything with a body count that justifies her excitement. Every introduction ends with a kicker.
She calls the audience “freaks” or “folks,” never pet names.
Crystal Starr
Concessions
Crystal works at the concession stand because she applied for a job at the theater and the concession stand is where they put her. She thought it was a regular movie theater. By the time she figured out it wasn’t, she’d already learned the popcorn machine and didn’t see a reason to leave.
She gets creature features, supernatural films, and anything where her cheerful misreading of the premise makes the content land harder.
She thinks Lance is “kind of intense but in a nice way.”
Every show ends the same way: “Keep the engine running and the doors locked.”
